There's no hope in the coloniesSo catch yourself a lifelineThings have gone wrong too many timesSo catch yourself a slow boat to chinaFixing some holes from the tigers clawsAll your tears will be tremblingStick those teeth into my backSeasonal beasts keep them at bayCan't something go rightLittle things change people's livesHostile words won't fill your eyesSame noise left too destroyLoathsome smile head full of forever'sWill tomorrow bring some perfectionThe zoos been overrun in BaghdadTiger's claws still in my backOh so send away the tigersBecause we're lonely and we're desperateOh so send away the tigersBecause they're creeping up and dangerousI've got problems I've got too many of themThrow away your yesterdays I did it all for youBlank horizons & hotels roomsCheap Whiskey & god-awful truthsLook at me I'm honest & I'm freeI was born to underachieveOh so send away the tigersBecause we're lonely and we're desperateOh so send away the tigersBecause they're creeping up and dangerous
